Houston was the only other no loss team until they got beat by SMU.....they ended up going 12-1 and if they would have been undefeated would probably have went to the sugar bowl....

And gotten smashed by an SEC team. They should beat Penn St. who's just looking to get this season over with amidst the neg publicity.

Houston sports a pretty resume until you stop and look below the surface. They did not play one single ranked team all season. That season opening win over UCLA looked good but c'mon, it's the Pac. :grin:

Oh ok, so he is going to bring his offensive system to the SEC. Doesn't he run the spread or what kind of offensive system was that, Andre Ware I believe along with the QB from this year. How is it I remember Andre Ware and not their QB from this year? lol
This should be very interesting, I believe some were debating if his system would work as well in the SEC. He might have had his last Heisman candidate ever at QB!

I just did a quick search. He was at Oklahoma before going to Houston but he spent two seasons as an assistant at Texas A&M some time before going to OU.

Has some pretty impressive accomplishments and though he's known for offense, he was a linebacker when he played. Also has "Big game" experience.

Sumlin has coached in 11 bowl games, including all four BCS games. Five came during his time at Oklahoma (2008 Fiesta, 2007 Fiesta, 2005 Holiday, 2005 Orange, 2004 Sugar), one at Texas A&M (2002 GalleryFurniture.com) and three with Purdue (2002 Rose, 2000 Outback, 1998 Alamo). He also is the only coach in Houston history to lead his team to back-to-back bowl appearances during his first two seasons.

A four-year letterman as a linebacker at Purdue (1983-86), Sumlin still ranks among the top 10 in career tackles for the Boilermakers. He was named to Sports Illustrated's All-America walk-on list as a freshman after leading Purdue with 91 tackles.

Houston also became just the third team to post a 5,000-yard passer (Keenum) and three 1,000-yard receivers (Cleveland, Tyron Carrier and Patrick Edwards) in one season, and the 1,000-yard receiving trio marked just the fourth time the feat had been accomplished in NCAA history.
